Danang lights up with solar power Pham Ngoc Cong covered the 12sq.m roof of his 3-storey home with solar panels to generate power for his family’s daily needs. The renewable energy system has helped Công cut his household’s electric consumption by 30 per cent each month, while cooling the penthouse during the scorching heat of summer. The grid-tie solar power system produces 12 kilowatts per hour, supplying enough power for all electrical equipment including high consumption air conditioners and refrigerators, while solar-powered water heaters provide 24-hour hot water for family use. “It’s saved me quite a bit of money. I used to pay VND2 million (US$88) each month for my family’s use from the city’s grid, but I pay just VND1 million ($44) since the top-roof solar power system was installed two years ago,” Cong said. “Meanwhile, three water heaters, which were powered by solar energy, costs almost nothing from the power grid in … [Read more...] about Danang lights up with solar power

Home energy: A roof-top solar power system on a building in Đà Nẵng. The system supplies enough power for daily use. — VNS Photo Minh Vũ Viet Nam News Between 2008 and 2011, the central city of Đà Nẵng has cut 12,000 tonnes of carbon emissions after developing environmentally friendly electric cars and household solar powered water heaters. Connecting household solar panels to the grid is seen as a positive way to make Đà Nẵng a ‘green’ city by 2025. Bùi Hoài Nam reports.

Vietnam Recyclable Energy Joint-Stock Company (REVN) and the People's Committee of Binh Thuan province inaugurated the first wind-to-power plant in Tuy Phong district, Binh Thuan province on April 18, 2012.
The plant, powered by 20 wind turbines in the first phase with a total capacity of 30 MW, was kicked off in March 2008. Most items were built locally. This is the first wind power project in the country to be connected to the national grid. To date, it has general 90 million KWh of electricity.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc hailed the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the Binh Thuan People's Committee, and Vietnam Recyclable Energy Joint-Stock Company (REVN) for their effort to bring the first wind power plant into operation.
He asserted that the project has great significance in using clean energy to protect the environment - a top concern of the Party, the State and the Government.

Not wasting fuel, not causing environmental pollution, being easy to choose the location and saving cost for construction, stations for wind power are gradually occupying the advantage and becoming the strongest power source all over the world. Endless energy From upon time, people had known how to exploit wind power to serve their life. To 1940, the largest wind turbine in the world was placed on top of Vermont hill, Rutland in England with capacity of 1,25 MW when the wind power reached 13,4112 m/s; providing electricity for people living in a few months in the period of World War II. So far, turbine engines running by wind power have been used worldwide; the industry of wind power revenue more than 9 billion USD for a year. The cost to build a power station includes: cost for generators and propellers to welcome the wind; the pressure and mediation network; battery, the load and the electrical equipment; cost for the tower or supporting pillars; cost for transportation to the … [Read more...] about Wind power has come to Vietnam

Changes Are In The Wind By staff writers For a long time, Vietnam’s effort to solve her energy problems has been focused on thermal and nuclear options. In fact, wind power is likely to be a satisfactory answer. The door to wind power in Vietnam is no longer closed. However, some time ago, the path to that door was by no means smooth. Vietnam’s six master power plans prepared by the Government to outline the national energy needs mentioned only hydro and thermal power, and wind energy was not cited. But things are changing. Five years ago, when wind power was still little known in Vietnam, the proprietors of the Vietnam Renewable Energy Joint Stock Company (REVN)— the country’s first operational wind power project—had to make a difficult decision. They wanted to realize the country’s first large-scale wind power project. But only the first phase of their investment, a 30MW wind plant powered by 20 wind turbines, required up to US$75 million. That … [Read more...] about Changes Are In The Wind
